AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This approach enables efficient tracking across a large number of locations with reduced data storage requirements, allowing for scalable tracking without overwhelming the system, even when dealing with numerous items or individuals.

Problems solved by technology

These systems do not offer an ability to track individuals or items and determine all of the locations that they have visited without using a much larger database to store information on the same.
Moreover, in order to relay information related to the tracked items or individuals, an input system (communication) to the database(s) could be extensive and problematic, due to e.g., bandwidth considerations.
Such detailed tracking may quickly overwhelm a standard, database-based tracking system and the system to acquire such information could be prohibitively complex.
If a large number of people (and / or items) are being tracked, the system could become overwhelmed, since scaling could become a limiting factor.

Abstract

A system for tracking using electronic addresses is disclosed. The system stores an identification code, an electronic address, and a counter. The electronic address is made up of either single values or pairs of single values. A pair of single values for at least one of value of the counter is made up of a pseudonumber and a unique address value. The pseudonumber is able to be disentangled to produce a second pair of single values for a different value of the counter, thereby producing a tracking history.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Non-Provisional patent application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional patent application No. 61 / 031,965, filed Feb. 27, 2008, and entitled “METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRACKING,” the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The invention is directed to a method and system for tracking items based on a standardized electronic address. The item tracked may be a physical item, including but not limited to a package, a file, a shipping container, a truck, a ship, an airplane, a person, or an animal, or it may be electronic data, including but not limited to network data packets; frames; or files, such as a digital music file, a digital movie file, or digital rights management (DRM) implementations.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Many systems and methods exist for tracking items such as packages or shipping containers. These systems typically utilize a cent...
